Brembo bugeye conversion
Ive got a bugeye wagon with a pcd of 5x100 but ive bought a full set of brembos with discs from an 05 sti which have the 5x114 pcd.
What i need to know,is what do i need to have drilled so that i can fit the barkes onto my car.
Do the calipers have to be drilled or is it the discs-or both.What are the pitfalls or is it straight forward and what companies do i approach,to do the work(im in the worcestershire/west mids areas).
Cheers

Not many replies so far so I'll start off with what I know.
The front calipers will not need re-drilling. They will need their own bolts though as the thread pitch of the brembo calipers is different to other calipers.
Discs need re-drilling to the new pcd, costs will depend on where you get them done obviously but shouldn't cost the earth.
Rear calipers are where things get a bit tetchy with my limited knowledge as handbrake sizes, brackets for spacing the calipers etc etc start to take play. Hopefully someone else will come along with good info. The rear discs will obviously need re-drilling as well

Hi
You will need to get your discs drilled with a 5 x 100 PCD , then everything will bolt straight on , what you will need is the thicker handbrake shoes I supply as the handbrake on the brembo discs are a larger diameter , you dont need the mounting brackets on a bugeye.
I am based in Bridgend just past Cardiff so not a million miles from you , you can collect the shoes and i'll drill your discs while you wait.
Cheers Ian
